Jenna Lapointe

Jenna Lapointe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who mixes a client-centered approach with practical therapeutic tools. She emphasizes empathetic listening while helping people make small, useful changes in daily life. Jenna frames symptoms as meaningful signals and works with clients to find healthier ways to meet the needs those signals point to.

She uses a blend of approaches and chooses methods based on each person's goals. That can include mindfulness work to notice patterns, cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts, and body-focused processing for trauma. Sessions focus on understanding what thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are trying to do for someone, then practicing different, safer ways to get the same benefit.

Jenna has 13 years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and LICSW credentials. Her work has centered in outpatient settings and she draws on many evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related problems. She also addresses concerns such as addiction, compassion fatigue, sleep and eating issues, and attention difficulties.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jenna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, both of which translate well to an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone, then teaching practical actions that line up with those values to reduce the hold of unwanted thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily and mental patterns without judgment. The therapist approaches selecting methods collaboratively, so she will work with each client to figure out which mix of ACT, CBT, or mindfulness best fits their goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-in times when needed, and allow practices like mindfulness and skills work to be done in familiar daily routines. Licensed professionals can guide homework, model techniques in-session, and help adapt exercises to work in a client's everyday setting.
